Abstract
Steampunk played a huge role in my 20s, as I found community and a form of self-expression. However, in exploring my identity through it, I wound up realizing that I didn't fit in and learned about the historical baggage that many tried to push under the rug. The essay is about outgrowing something that was important in your life and what it means to be a fashion rebel of sorts.
